What’s in a name?
According to PETA, quite a bit. The animal rights organization has requested that San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood be renamed something that refrains from evoking a butcher, cow, steak, the HOPR, or pretty much anything else related to meat (mmmmm, meat). In the words of one local resident, whose wit made me laugh out loud despite the early hour, “What, am I going to say, ‘Yo, I’m headed down to the Mixed Salad?’” Amen, brother.
